MINI LYBRARY

The Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) launched the School Literacy Movement (GLS) as a development of Permendikbud Number 23 of 2015 concerning Growth of Characteristics in Children. Following up on the movement, each student must do creative things related to literacy culture.

One of them is by creating a Reading Corner in each class. This is certainly made with the creativity of the students concerned, so that it is different in each class. Reading Corner is the corner where students read, there are provided books about education and science, as well as student work that can add to the uniqueness and artistic.

So that the Reading Corner becomes a magnet to attract students to read. Then the Reading Corner must be interesting and artistic.

Here are the reading corner in class 9.2.

Benefits of Reading Corner in Class

The Reading Corner was made not to rival the School Library, but rather helped the School Library in creating a fondness for reading and reading routines for students. So that the books provided at the Reading Corner are strived to be different from those available at the School Library.

In the context of developing students' interest in reading, Reading Corner in each class has benefits including: 

• Can stimulate students to be more fond of reading and have good thinking power. 
• Bring books closer to students so students are more interested in reading. 
• Can be linked as part of learning activities by the teacher
• Assist the School Library in cultivating reading routines, when the books students want to read are not available in the School Library. 

HANDYCRAFTS OF 9.2

A.   THE BENEFITS

Our class has a place for crafts, children’s crafts will be put there. Crafts have many benefits from one of them, we can develop children’s creativity. Those who cannot do accademically might be good at crafts, so we can express their ideas through crafts. And crafts also practice other basic skill, example neatly cut, coloring and more. We will also learn to be confident in their work, when we are not doing anything they can make something what we want. We can also learn to practice patience, in making crafts there must be something that fails or does not meet our expectations. We have to be patient and have high spirits, because when we fail we have to make it again and we can’t give up easily. Making crafts can eliminate stress, when we need refreshing we can make something useful by making crafts.

B.    POSTIVE IMPACT

By making crafts we can be free from stress and can eliminate fatigue. And also increase happiness because we feel comfortable with these activities. When we make our crafts we also become more confident with our crafts, and also increase concentration. For example, when we cut we must be careful and we can learn a lot from crafts. Learning is not always with lessons in class, we can start by making crafts.

NEGATIVE IMPACT

It contrast to its positive effects, the negative impacts are not so many. One of the negative ipact is that it consumes energy, so we will be tired if we continue to make crafts. And also wasting money to buy ingredients, we become less thrift, and also we make a lot of rubbish so that sometimes some unused material is wasted. So, use these ingredients as needed so that nothing is wasted.

C.    WHY IN CLASS THERE MUST BE HANDICRAFTS?

This question must have crossed your mind, why should there be crafts in the classroom?  we can make it ourselves at home and usually for room decoration etc. With the crafts in our class we can show or display our creations, we can show how creative we are. The existence of handicrafts in the classroom will not limit children’s creativity, children will bring out all their creations and express their ideas. Our class is also more colourful, varied, and more beautiful of course. Surely we are bored with the items in our class, so we can add to it by making crafts as creative as possible. Some handicraft works can be used as wall hangings or can also be used for pencils, markers eraser boards etc.  

Pendidikan Abad 21

Siapkah kita menghadapi pendidikan Abad 21?  Abad 21 adalah abad yang memiliki perkembangan teknologi dan ilmu pengetahuan sangat pesat. Menunggu revolusi pendidikan, banyak hal yang seharusnya sudah disiapkan dari sekarang. Jika tidak ada kesiapan dari masyarakat, maka tantangan yang muncul akibat revolusi ini akan sulit diatasi. 

Kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi dapat mengubah gaya hidup manusia dalam segala aspek kegiatan. Perkembangan teknologi juga dapat dengan mudah memasuki dunia pendidikan. Pada era revolusi ini, teknologi lah yang menjadi tonggak pendidikan. Peran guru akan berkurang karena digantikan oleh video-video pembelajaran yang beredar di internet. Gedung-gedung sekolah juga akan berkurang karena pada era ini pembelajaran bisa dilakukan dimana saja dan kapan saja.Akses pendidikan memang menjadi lebih mudah. Namun,pihak sekolah tetap dituntut untuk menghasilkan output siswa yang mampu bersaing dan siap bekerja. Untuk menyesuaikan dengan pendidikan Abad 21, kita bisa mencontoh salah satu sistem pendidikan Negara maju, yaps Amerika contohnya.

S

istem pendidikan Amerika menawarkan banyak pilihan untuk mahasiswa internasional. Ketika Anda memulai pencarian, mahasiswa dapat kewalahan dalam memilih universitas yang akan dituju, program apa yang dipilih, serta lokasi. Oleh karena itu sangatlah penting untuk mengenal sistem pendidikan di Amerika. Pemahaman sistem ini akan membantu Anda untuk mempersempit pilihan studi serta membangun rencana studi Anda.

Struktur Pendidikan

Sekolah Primer dan Sekunder

Sistem Penilaian

Seperti layaknya pelajar Amerika, Anda harus mengirimkan transkrip akademik sebagai bagian dari pendaftaran untuk penerimaan masuk ke universitas atau college. Transkrip akademik yang memenuhi syarat adalah pernyataan resmi dari nilai akademik Anda. Di A.S., transkrip akademik termasuk "grade (nilai)" dan "Grade Point Average (GPA)/Index Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK), yang merupakan ukuran dari pencapaian akademik Anda dan kemudian dilanjutkan sepanjang tahun.

Tahun akademik terdiri dari dua term yang disebut sebagai "semester." (beberapa perguruan tinggi menggunakan tiga term kalender yang disebut sebagai sistem "trimester"). Sebagian lagi menggunakan sistem kuarter dari empat term, termasuk sesi pilihan musim panas. Pada dasarnya, Anda tidak menghitung sesi musim panas, tahun akademik terdiri dari dua semester atau tiga term kuarter.

Jenis Pendidikan Tinggi Amerika

1. Universitas atau Perguruan Tinggi Negeri

Perguruan tinggi negeri didukung dan dijalankan oleh negara bagian atau pemerintah lokal. Setiap 50 negara bagian A.S. mempunyai paling sedikit satu universitas negeri dan beberapa college negeri. Banyak dari perguruan tinggi negeri ini mempunyai nama dari negara bagian, atau kata "state (negara bagian)" di dalam nama perguruan tinggi mereka: sebagai contoh, Washington State University dan University of Michigan.

2. Universitas atau Perguruan Tinggi Swasta

Perguruan tinggi ini dijalankan secara swasta. Biaya kuliah biasanya lebih tinggi dari perguruan tinggi negeri. Seringkali, universitas dan perguruan tinggi swasta A.S. lebih kecil daripada perguruan tinggi negeri.

Universitas dan college yang berhubungan dengan agama adalah college swasta. Perguruan tinggi ini menerima mahasiswa yang berbeda agama dan kepercayaan. Tetapi ada sebagian kecil perguruan tinggi yang lebih mengharapkan untuk menerima mahasiswa yang berkeyakinan sama.

3. Community College (Perguruan Tinggi Dua Tahun)

Community college adalah perguruan tinggi dua-tahun yang memberikan gelar associate (diploma) yang dapat ditransfer, dan juga sertifikasi. Ada banyak jenis gelar associate, tetapi faktor yang membedakan adalah apakah gelar tersebut dapat ditransfer atau tidak. Biasanya, ada dua jalur gelar primer: satu untuk transfer akademik dan yang lainnya untuk mempersiapkan mahasiswa mendapatkan pekerjaan secara langsung. Gelar universitas yang dapat ditransfer umumnya associate of arts (diploma seni) atau associate of science (diploma sains).

Yang tidak dapat ditransfer adalah gelar associate of applied science (diploma sains aplikasi) dan certificates of completion (sertifikat kelulusan).

Jika Anda tidak berencana untuk memperoleh gelar yang lebih tinggi dari associate, Anda harus menemukan apakah gelar associate akan berguna untuk menemukan pekerjaan di negara asal Anda.

4. Institute of Technology (Lembaga Teknologi)

Institute of Technology adalah perguruan tinggi yang menyediakan pendidikan sains dan teknologi selama paling sedikit empat tahun. Beberapa mempunyai program graduate, yang lainnya menawarkan mata kuliah jangka pendek.

Articles of Leaders in Islam

The resurrection of the people depends on thinking about humans, the universe and life and the relationships before and after it. From this thought a true and strong foundation will be born, in the form of Islamic creed. But this is not enough without a leader who will always take care of it and direct it in achieving revival. The existence of a leader is a must for humans, just as there must be water for life.
Justice and truth will not be seen except in the presence of leader power. The people will become weak without a leader. If the people are weak then they will not get benefit; Sharia laws cannot be enforced either. As a result, they feel uncomfortable about their lives, do not get the glory and can not drive away their enemies. Because truly, the leader is the protector of the people.
"Indeed, a priest (leader) is a shield, where people fight behind him and take refuge with him."

Reader Letter

Learning system
The learning system that is owned by MTsB is very good. In this study using the Cambridge curriculum. In this madrasa, it is very important to prioritize the English language skills of students in their daily activities around the madrasa. In addition to general lessons that have progress, religious education is also progressing. Noteworthy in a number of madrasa environment, cleanliness and beauty of the building. In the school environment we need to pay attention to the beauty of the school environment to create a sense of comfort in teaching and learning activities.


The reading corner
The reading corners contained in each corner of the class can help the school library to create a fondness for reading and reading routines for students. The benefits of having a reading corner are also many, one of which is that we can master more knowledge that we do not know or have not obtained from the teaching and learning activities material. However, in the reading corner there must also be a number of things that need attention such as the content contained in the book. Usually, not all books available in the reading corner have scientific content

Nadiem Makarim's New Policy on USBN, RPP and Zoning System

 Nadiem Makarim said that the implementation of the 2020 National Examination (UN) will be the last to be held.

The National Examination will be replaced by the Minimum Competence Assessment and Character Survey conducted in 4th grade for elementary school, 8th grade for junior high school and 11th grade for vocational high school.

So, how about other related policies ?, In a press release from the Bureau of Communication and Community Service of the Ministry of Education and Culture (Mendikbud), Nadiem established four educational policies named 'Merdeka Belajar'.

"The four main programs of the policy will be the direction of debriefing in the future, which will focus on the direction of the President and Vice President in improving the quality of human resources," Nadiem said, in Jakarta, Wednesday (11/12).

The implementation of USBN
The National Standard School Examination (USBN) in 2020 will be held by the school. Later, what will be assessed are student competencies with written tests as well as other more comprehensive assessments. Such as portfolios and assignments (group work, paperwork and so on).

According to Nadiem, thus teachers and schools will be more flexible in assessing student learning outcomes. "The USBN budget itself can be diverted to develop the capacity of teachers and schools," he said.



RPP is composed by the teacher freely
While for the preparation of the Learning Implementation Plan (RPP), the Ministry of Education and Culture will cut some of its components.

Later, teachers can freely choose, create, use and develop their own RPP format, which consists of three core components, namely learning objectives, learning activities, and assessment.

The step was taken so that teachers have more time to prepare and evaluate the learning process.

"Writing the lesson plan is done efficiently and effectively so that the teacher has more time to prepare and evaluate the learning process itself. One page is enough, "explained Nadiem.

Zoning System
Whereas in New Student Admissions (PPDB) will still use the zoning system but made more flexible. He admitted that this was to accommodate the imbalance of access and quality in various regions.

For its own composition, the zoning pathway is 50%, the affirmation path is at least 15%, and the path is a maximum of 5%. As for the path of achievement or the remaining 0-30% is adjusted to local conditions.

"Regions have the authority to determine the final proportions and determine zoning areas," he said.
